The Oxford Handbook of Education and Training in Professional Psychology

Edited by W. Brad Johnson, Ph.D. and Nadine Kaslow, Ph.D.

Description

The Oxford Handbook of Education and Training in Professional Psychology provides the first comprehensive treatment of the processes and current state-of-the art practices bearing on educating and training professional psychologists. Thousands of psychologists are employed full-time as faculty members or clinical supervisors in graduate, practicum, internship, and postdoctoral training programs or training sites. This handbook provides a single resource that pulls together the substantial scholarship on education and training in psychology, covering the full spectrum of historic developments, salient issues, current standards, and emerging trends in psychology education and training. It provides a thorough analysis of doctoral and postdoctoral training for
psychologists in clinical, counseling, or school psychology specialties. Because competency issues are moving to the forefront in the design of training programs and the evaluation of trainee performance, the handbook's authors have made models and standards for competency a primary theme. This volume captures the current state of education and training while emphasizing emerging trends and forecasting future directions.

"The Oxford Handbook of Education and Training in Professional Psychology provides a useful and scholarly guide to education and training in psychology. It weaves together a wide
range of current and relevant topics in psychology, from rigorous trainee selection through
the effective use of telehealth to benefit more mental health consumers. We suggest that
educators and mentors in psychology incorporate the ideas from this book into their
practice, while simultaneously meeting the critical need for policy expertise by helping
students become skilled leaders in public health policy. Only by embracing the call to
engage in health policy can psychology thrive in this new era of ACA healthcare." -- PsycCRITIQUES
